Distributed and networked computer systems typically comprise a variety of types and sizes of components such as routers, gateways, servers, databases, personal computers, and the like. Each component may include a variety of resources including hardware and software resources such as disk drives, fans, memory allocation, and the like. To manage and maintain the effective use of these components, a systems administrator may monitor the health and other computer system management information of the resource, and modify that information if necessary or otherwise take corrective action. To monitor the system information, the systems administrator may communicate with the desired resource either receiving broadcast messages of status and health information and/or requesting specific information from a defined port. The format of the messages containing the health and/or status information may be controlled by one of several standard protocols which define the format of messages presenting status information from certain devices. For example, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) standard that is used to manage and control IP gateways and the networks to which they are attached. In another example, SYSLOG is a distributed interface standard for logging short text messages regarding systems health information which are communicated to clients with User Datagram Protocol (UDP) datagrams. In yet anther example, Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a remote management control protocol (RMCP) for request/reply and uses SNMP for events/traps. IPMI is further IPMI data and SNMP data can be mapped into the common information model/Web-based enterprise management (CIM/WBEM)-based standards for retrieving and describing management data over HTTP. In another example, Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM) is a management standard directed toward Web-services.
